Second Letter

A Poem by Kyle Francisco

I didn't know what to do
not much to say
yet I didn't want it this way
put to rest conviction
tongue under restriction
passion stricken lips
meant to hear this
blatancy in it's finest form
perversion; nothing more
a smile to all I greet
simple nothingness underneath
my eyes say it all
shell says nothing at all

Endless misery
thoughts accompany
tale of symphony
struggle to become
lose where I belong
longing to be gone
flow like the wind
how I wish to give in
partaking is sin
journey into abyss
darkness a bliss
I don't want to reminisce
allusions through and through

Driven without face
as heart begins to race
pushing to keep pace
done with no haste
even through all these years
yet to shed light on my fears
can I really care?
behind is what was left
looking forward to what is next
a dance in the desert
visage so clever
falter as I grow near her

Never here long
gone like Babylon
come see me
though we cannot be
I'll make you believe
lapse in serene
song of sun
nothing is done
here I remain unseen

Invincibly intoxicating
simply exhilarating
wrapped in ecstasy
enthralling encounter
thoughts killing
pen clicking
manifesting explosion of soul
all with one goal

Pacing back and forth
contemplating its worth
blade in my palm
wound I open up
cool to the touch
bring it to my ear
hope is near
